5AM Front Cover

Dense fog at 5am

Reminds me of the pain you have gone through

Airflow I slightly felt

That’s how you show me I live with you

I float in this lake to feel safe

But sound of water tells I don’t belong (Here)

Hide the emotions upon my face

I don’t even know if I’m glad or blue

Daylight that keeps me awake

Reminds me of the warmth you pursued

The shadow of my left hand

That’s how you show me I’m here with you

I float in this lake to feel safe

But sound of water tells I don’t belong (Here)

Hide the emotions upon my face

I don’t even know if I’m glad or blue

This ache won’t last for too long

Don’t go away, this is just a ritual

I’m trying my best not to get it too low

5am I’m searching for your soul

Can’t go back I lost my passport

Hold me tight coz I won’t feel you anymore

Teach me how to go 極楽浄土

5am I’m searching for your soul

    5AM

    Maika Loubté

In the midst of our relationships and separations, we sometimes experience events that remind us of the fragility of life. "5AM" is a meditative pop song that gently embraces reality with the image of a sleepless night at 5 in the morning.

From the upcoming album, scheduled to release later this year, Maika Loubté announces the release of her new single "5AM" on April 2, 2021. The lyrics are written by Maika's brother, Keisei Loubté. The beat is made by zach, an artist from New York who is currently unaccounted for. The artwork on the cover is a painting by Naoko Yamane, a Japanese illustrator and artist based in Berlin, Germany.

"I met zach through Instagram about 3 years ago. We continued to keep in touch, which led to us making 5AM together. After a few months of communicating with him, I lost contact with him and realized that all of his social media accounts and Spotify pages had disappeared and I had no idea where he was. The only thing I had left were some of the beats he had sent me, and although I was at a loss for a while, I decided to just finish the song with the beats we worked on. About a year later, there was a time when many things happened to my family and I realized how fragile life is. At the time, I often listened back to the "5AM" demo, but the words didn't flow out easily, and I couldn't write the lyrics. So I asked my brother, who had experienced the same series of events, to write the lyrics, and he came up with the words that were surprisingly amazing... I think I was able to create a song that gently embraces reality with the image of being unable to sleep at 5 in the morning in the midst of the relationships and separations, beyond my imagination." (Maika Loubté)
